It looks like they're not really trying to ween them off of internet, but force them into military service. Get them young, I guess. I wonder if the parents even realize what's happening to their kids.

I love how the dog runs away when the avalanche of balls comes towards him. It's like he's thinking "Aw yiss, got another ball, fuck yeah, got two- OH SHIT OH SHIT THE OLD POODLE DOWN THE ROAD TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL WHAT I WISH FOR THEY'RE ATTACKING OH GOD"

Psh, when I get 100 balls for my birthday everyone just slut-shames me :(

No matter how ridiculously campy it was, no matter how little sense the destruction made, no matter how annoying some escort missions were, and no matter how hilariously simplistic the story was, Mercenaries 2 will always be one of my guilty pleasure games.

"...more likely to jump on you and lick you to death then bite you."

Seriously? Huskies? Have these people ever met a husky? They are some of the friendliest dogs ever. And I don't JUST say that out of personal experience - most breeders and most professional literature on the breed agree that they aren't suitable for training to guard or attack because they're naturally very friendly…

I guess this means if you buy an iPad secondhand, you'll now have sloppy seconds right out of the box.

Launchpad is a terrible name. I would have opted with the iPound.

I can't wait to stream my favorite NPR podcasts in conjunction with this thing I HAVE DEMANDED FOR YEARS.

I think the problem is that some boss fights should be the epic struggle against a demanding foe, while others should stick to letting the preceding story/narrative provide the tension and drama and keep the fight itself brief, but too many games that really need the latter end up getting the former.

Red Dead Redemption does exactly what you're talking about, only in a split second. Your interpretation of a boss battle in one very particular kind of boss battle (a tired and widely used one); some are epic Dark Souls-esque monsters that will mash you to a pulp, others are lightning QTEs, while others are dialogue…

Maybe better boss fights would be better boss fights.

You know what I remember? The good ending of Splinter Cell: Double Agent *SPOILERS* on the Yacht, as you attempt to disarm the bomb, the head antagonist Carson Moss is on the boat. He dies with a shot to the head like everyone else, just the one and then you disarm the bomb.

This always stood out for me. At the time I…

first thing i thought of

I loved the game. Nolan North did great, supporting cast did great. gameplay was tight. And it's so far been the only game to make me feel bad when playing a game (i think we both know why and for what reasons)

"The prospect of a darker, Apocalypse Now-influenced Call of Duty game feel a little bit intriguing." So... Spec Ops: The Line? Terrific game.

Wow. Never thought Crytek would become the next THQ. Hope this rumor is just that.

Nope. It will be called "the Orange Box 2" to make sure it doesn't show any 3 on the cover.
